Children always push their limits until they learn honesty and integrity. Tell them they can have 2 cookies, they take 2 and a half. If they get away with that, maybe 3 next time, then 4, then whatever they want. Pushing their limits and learning to live within civilized limits imposed by their parents (and society) is part of growing up. Jeff Mercer is still a child.

During the snowfall of late 2006, Jeff Mercer had been working on clearing all the (dirty) snow from the street (in preparation for New Years Eve guests) in front of his house by shoveling it into his front lawn. He also cleared a bit of the street in front of my house (no problem) and initially put some of the dirty snow on the edges of my property (problem).

Day after day, snowstorm after snowstorm he kept the street clear in front of his house, and day after day, he pushed farther and farther by throwing the dirty snow farther and farther on my front lawn. On the first day, maybe a foot or two, and soon he was past 15 feet of piled dirty snow on my property. I bit my tongue and said nothing.

Today Jeff Mercer was clearing the street in front of his house and partly in front of my home after a snow plow came through. And again, he used my property to dispose of his waste. He pushed huge dirty snow boulders from the street into my front yard. Out of his way (sound familiar) and into mine.

This is no different than when the Mercer’s used my property to haul their pea gravel to their backyard play area without asking.

I have my reasons for not wanting huge quantities of dirt and gravel impregnated snow from the street being dumped on my front lawn. My reasons are irrelevant to the situation. The only relevant fact is that I own the property that Jeff Mercer is using a dumping ground for his waste. My property rights are all that count, not whether or not Jeff agrees with my reasons. My property, my rules.

With parents like these, it's no wonder their children also have no respect for the property of their neighbors.

Just like a child, Jeff Mercer pushed and pushed the "line" as he utilized more and more of my property to dispose of the dirty snow from the street. The Mercers pushed and pushed and cheated(1) on our signed mediated agreement too, and then blamed me for "watching the clock". Apparently Jeff doesn't "watch the property line" either.

The Mercers are pushers, and when they get away with one transgression, it becomes the "norm" and they push that limit repeating the process. Any attempt at compromise with them is viewed as "weakness", they take the compromise and then start pushing (cheating2) the newly established limits again.

When the first pre-xmas snowstorm hit Denver, I was unable to get my car up my driveway into my garage. Many of my neighbors, including Jeff came out to help and I was finally able to get my car into my garage.

Thank-You Jeff for helping.

Unfortunately your help changes nothing. What is mine is not yours. Do you think it makes up for your theft of my backyard privacy and peace and quiet since the spring of 2000?

Do you think it makes up for:

I became aware of a party my Toxic Neighbors From Hell were having at their home on Saturday night around 11:30pm. They had their children and guests outside in their front yard screaming and squealing at 11:30pm till past midnight. This was not only annoying to me, but I'm sure the rest of the neighbors weren't thrilled either. The Mercers were clearly now using their children (so what's new) and their guests to annoy me. Suspecting a possible problem, I started my VCR.

At around 12:20am the noise stopped and I viewed my security cameras to see if the party was over so maybe I could get some sleep. I noticed that a sign I had hung on my house in my side yard was gone. I reviewed my camera data to see how the sign disappeared.

At 12:08am someone from the Mercers property climbed over my 6' fence into my side yard, ignoring my No-Trespassing signs and stole the sign I had hung on the side of my home. This small sign said www.FeelMyPain.net. After leaving my property, the thief ran back into the Mercers front yard. Someone was watching the theft from the Mercers living room window.

The Mercers are aware I have security cameras and the area is very well lit, and yet, they were willing to enter my property and steal my sign. I believe the almost total lack of support I have received from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office for the illegal noise on my property from their playground the other crimes committed by the Mercers and their friends has empowered them ((as I predicted in 2005). They must believe they have a "Get Out of Jail Free" card issued to them by the Jefferson County Sheriff. Do they have one?

I called the Mercers moments later. As soon as the phone rang, I could see them looking out their side windows. They knew it was me calling and they knew why. Of course they didn’t answer the phone.

I called the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office and reported the theft. An officer arrived at my home and took my report (06-20315) and he also reviewed the videotape of the crime. A hi-resolution copy of the VCR tape was given to the police officer. Even though it was after 2am at this time, the Mercers were still up and with all their interior lights on, waiting for the police visit.

On prior occasions the Jefferson County police officers have pointedly told me they WILL NOT ENFORCE the noise ordnance against the Mercers. This time the police officer told me they will enforce the law and that I should absolutely call them the next time the noise is excessive. Very interesting... I will call the police the next time there is excessive noise from their playground or an out of control "party" late in the evening.

As usual the Mercers have resorted to illegal acts and/or conspiring with others to commit illegal acts in their futile attempt to drive me from my home. They find ways to use others to do their dirty work. They could compromise and share, making all our lives easier, especially for their children. But their children and our neighbors all come second to the Mercers selfish lifestyle.

I call upon the Jefferson County Sheriff's office to finally begin to enforce their laws, by citing Jeff and Donna Mercer for "promoting any activity" that results in illegal sound levels on my property. I call upon the police to finally begin to enforce the theft and harassment laws against the Mercers. So far their "hands off" policy has only emboldened the Mercers. Where will the Mercers stop? Will they have my house burned down for real next time? Does their "Get out of Jail Card Free" card cover arson?

We live in a nice middle class neighborhood, and we have to endure the likes of the low-class Mercers living among us and the trash they call friends visiting them and spending time in OUR neighborhood. Unless they are reined in soon, imagine the depths they will sink to against any of us at the slightest provocation. The Mercers and/or their cronies crossed a huge line last night. It was bad enough when they lied to the police about me and had my trash cans stolen. Now they have climbed over my 6' fence and stole my property. If I had witnessed the trespassing and theft real time, I would have been outside with my baseball bat swinging. What's next, breaking into my home?

Only pigs and the Mercers enjoy rolling around in the mud.

Do you ever wonder why some people build their houses on the coast in known hurricane areas? They build, a hurricane blows their house down, they rebuild and the cycle starts over again. And when their house is destroyed, do they blame themselves?

Like those that build in known hurricane areas, Jeff and Donna Mercer knew in advance that their playground location was going to be a problem for their neighbor (1). But they built it anyway and when the problem they predicted occurred, do they blame themselves?

If she really believes her children's childhood is being ruined by the conflict, then for her children's sake, why doesn't she just move the playground away from my property line? Or honor the mediated agreement we signed in 2001? A few months after signing, she made a point of thanking me for how peaceful the neighborhood had been.

Over the years I've offered many solutions, including offering to pay (2) a landscaper to move the entire playground to the other side of their property (3). We voluntarily agreed to a mediated settlement where they got most of the time for unrestricted playground use and I got about an hour per weekday of evening daylight and all day Sunday of no playground use (no screaming from the "acoustic alley"). The Mercers selfishly rejected all my offers, proposed no compromises of their own and only honored the mediated settlement for 34 days before they started cheating.

Jeff and Donna Mercer aren't concerned about their children's childhood at all. Nor are they concerned about their children's safety considering how the construction and their use of the dangerous playground violates all accepted safety practices.

The Mercers simply want to win at all costs, and have proven that to win they will threaten, accuse, lie, cheat, steal, harass, bear false witness and use their children as pawns in their battle. It's not about their children, it's all about Jeff and Donna Mercer. If they believe their children are being harmed by the conflict, well they are a casualty of their little war with their neighbor that they must win at all costs in their relentless belief that the whole world is theirs to consume.

The Mercers have cried to the police and the courts to obtained a temporary restraining order (4) against me claiming I was an "imminent threat" to their children which was quickly dropped due to a total lack of evidence. If they really believed there was a danger to their children, would they send their children out to scream on the playground, jammed up against my property line and just 8' from my home every time they see me outdoors in my backyard? Or would a concerned parent minimize the children's exposure to their perceived threat? Well... any good parent would.

After all these years (since 2000), it's obvious that their threats, lies and harassment will not force me to move, or force me to quietly (pun intended) accept the loss of my privacy and the full use of my home and property. Any parent that's really concerned about their children's childhood, would swallow their pride and do what is necessary to solve the problem for the sake of their children. Well... any good parent would.

Donna and Jeff Mercer are both liars and bad parents and only concerned about themselves, their children come second. Keeping their screaming children away from THEIR backyard and away from THEIR main living area in their home is their prime concern and their children are secondary. Their children all got another lesson from their parents in "problem solving". Now -- Who exactly is ruining their children?

It was exactly 5 years ago today that we negotiated and signed the mediated agreement. All I want is about 1 hour of guaranteed daylight quiet time per weekday and all day Sunday to end the conflict. Would your children’s life be better living with the stress of the 5+ year conflict or just giving your neighbor some guaranteed quiet time (just 8.33%)? The whole world is watching (5) to see if you choose your children over your "pride". I've always been willing to share, how about you? Neighborhood Peace and Harmony for just a little guaranteed quiet time?

The Mercers send their swarm of children, which act like locusts crawling all over their play equipment (just 8' from my home), screaming and shrieking and squealing and consuming ALL of my privacy and peace and quiet.

But unlike locusts that leave when they have consumed all there is to consume, peace and quiet and privacy is renewable, and these locust-like children * return again and again, day and night consuming every moment of peace and quiet and privacy available.

It must be deafening inside their home with all of them, adults and children alike, shouting and screaming for attention.

The screaming was so loud and so intense this evening I was unable to watch a movie in my house with a guest (even with the doors and windows closed), without the shrill screaming intruding. I politely said to the children "keep it down over there please". But of course without any parental concern or training the children have learned that making as much noise as they can, must please their parents. Donna Mercer came out to tell me again that "it’s your fault your house is so close to our playground" (which THEY jammed up against my property line...).

Before I moved in, Jeff Mercer warned me (in advance!) they were putting a playground on my property line and "you're not not going to like it". They knew it would be a problem before they did it, and did it anyway and now they cry foul (look in the mirror Jeff).

Of course it never occurs to them that it's their fault that THEY put the playground in their side yard, jammed up against my property line cedar "privacy fence" and "out of their way". Donna Mercer said her children "have to be quiet at school and at church, and they don't have to be quiet in their yard". Donna Mercer complains about my security camera, but she fails to consider how her screaming children intrude on my ability to use my home and property. Everything they do is okay, no matter how their excessive noise leaks off their property, but if I notice, then it's somehow my fault (nothing is ever their fault). Donna Mercer could use some logic and reasoning training.

All of this problem could be avoided if the Mercers honored their word and lived within the bounds of a mediated agreement we worked out and signed in 2001 or if the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department would simply enforce the noise ordinance. I have measured the noise levels in my backyard using the exact provisions of the law well over the legal limit. The police do not refute my measurements, they simply refuse to enforce the law.

The well written law says "ANY" noise or "ANY" activity. But the police refuse to enforce the law saying it does not apply to children. How could they make that conclusion? There are no exclusions in the written law excluding children. There are some specific exclusions, but not for children or any human sounds. The law could not be written more inclusive. Do we elect and fund a police force to enforce the law equally or do we allow them to play favorites and politics? Is "ANY" a hard word to understand?

Since the illegal noise problem started in 2000 and my failed attempts to have the noise abatement law enforced, the Jefferson County Commissioners have revised the written law, still without any exclusion for children. I believe the police are just afraid the Mercers would run whimpering and crying to the news media (again) and accuse the police of taking away their children's playground. Politics rule at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department and everyone knows the Mercers are very good at lying and manipulating the truth to their advantage.

The Mercers called the Jefferson County Sheriff's department again * this evening and two officers talked to both of us. The only violations this evening are the Jefferson County: 5.90 Noise Abatement law which the police refuse to enforce. Your guess is as good as mine as to what they called the police about, by allowing their children to generate illegal noise levels on my property THEY were the only lawbreakers. Stalemate.

As always, if the Mercers agree to honor their Word and the signed mediated agreement to share the neighborhood, I will be a willing participant. It takes two to tango.

The 20/20 story on "Toxic Neighbors" which I declined to be part of aired on May 5th, 2006. See the 20/20 video.

Their suggestions for Toxic Neighbors From Hell is to try mediation. Good idea... but it only works when both parties are generally good honest people with differing lifestyles that conflict. The mediator can bring out common areas and suggest some sharing compromises that allow both sides to get some and lose some.

The Mercers and I tried mediation in 2001 and worked out a sharing agreement that allows both of us to have some guaranteed time - for their unrestricted playground use and some quiet time (8.33%) for me with no playground use. We smiled at each other and shook hands and signed the agreement. The Mercers must still have the child-like belief that having your fingers crossed behind their backs meant that their Word and the handshake and their signature didn't count...

The Mercers say the agreement they voluntarily signed is "too restrictive" and they repeatedly tell anyone that will listen that it required their children to be inside at 7pm (to gain false support). They've told this to the police and a Jefferson County Judge. Jeff and Donna Mercer both know that is untrue, the only requirement was that the children not use the "acoustic alley" playground after 7pm on weekdays and all day Sunday. To the Mercers signing the mediated agreement was just a calculated delay tactic.

It only took the Mercers 34 days to start cheating. The cheating continued for years and finally they abandonded the agreement completely and then blamed me...

We tried court-ordered mediation again in June of 2004 and again in August of 2004 failing each time to even reach an agreement, due to their total refusal to restrict their screaming children's use of the playground for any guaranteed time period.

The Mercers are a HOOT, well I guess they’d be a hoot if they were not my very own Toxic Neighbors From Hell.

Back in 2000 our HOA issued a ruling that the huge ugly green cover over their playground WatchTower must be removed.

Last year the HOA sent them a letter demanding that they honor the HOA ruling. The Mercers snubbed their noses at the HOA and the HOA took no action ???

I have a small sign with the URL to this website on the side of my house (not visible from the street). Among other things this web site describes how the HOA made a ruling in 2000 that the Mercers had to remove the ugly green canopy installed over their swingset Watch Tower platform. It describes how the Mercers have totally ignored the HOA’s ruling -- they do what they want, when they want and to hell with anyone else or any agreements they’ve made. They complain about a small sign on my house that they can see, but claim no understanding of my complaint with seeing their swingset "Watch Tower" platform and cover, and claim no understanding of my complaint with hearing their screaming children in my backyard and in my home at illegal levels.

They don’t like my URL sign, so what did they do? You guessed it! They ran whimpering and crying to the very same HOA they’ve blown off. They want the HOA to make me take down my sign to a website which describes how the Mercers have ignored an HOA ruling against them. They seem to think the HOA can be ignored when it affects them, but that same HOA can be used when they want something from the HOA.

The Mercers ironic whimpering and crying to the HOA is totally predictable, considering how they have done nothing but allow their children to steal my privacy and peace and quiet since 2000 with their selfish playground placement and their total refusal to even share the neighborhood or live by their Word and a signed mediated agreement (to share the neighborhood). To the Mercers giving their Word or making an agreement and signing it, and shaking my hand on the agreement is nothing more than a delay tactic.

They whimper and cry to anyone that will listen about one of my security cameras which gets a partial black and white view of their trampoline (the camera is aimed to maximize my view of my side yard property). I have no windows on that side of my house, so my camera view is the only way I can see my side yard.

They tell the police that "he’s videotaping our daughters" and all that implies, and when that has no effect, they tell everyone that "he hates children". Say anything, do anything, lie, cheat, steal, whatever, to continue their selfish abuse of their neighbor and to keep their playground and their screaming children "out of their way".

Of course THEY have 7 windows on their side of the house with a FULL view my ENTIRE side yard and my ENTIRE backyard at any time of their choosing. They put a swingset Watch Tower platform jammed up against my property line which towers over my 6’ "privacy" fence giving their children and guests a clear view into my backyard at any time of their choosing. But my partial black and white security camera view of part of their trampoline is too much for them, and they cry and whimper and participate in a terrorism campaign against me and tell me to move and tell me it’s my fault my house is so close to their playground.

They ignore the Jefferson County Noise Ordinance and allow their children and guests to generate illegal noise levels on my property, but run crying to Jefferson County for a restraining order in 2004 (dropped by the court - no evidence of any threat) when I tell their children to keep the noise levels down.

What do you think? Are the Mercers that stupid or do they think everyone else is too stupid to see their illogical and selfish actions?

Most of us have a set of rules we live by, others may or may not like that set of rules, but we choose our morals and ethics and try to live within them. The Mercers set of rules is to say anything, any lie, any distortion, use anyone (Woody747) and any organization (HOA) (County Courts) to promote their unabashed selfish consumption of the world. And sad to say, they are very good at it. They know that no one person or neighbor or organization will ever have the time to see the big picture, but they will hear their lies and distortions and crying and whining.

How do they look at themselves in the mirror? How do they look their children in the eye?

Yesterday morning I was working in my yard. Shortly after I started working, the Mercers sent their huge gaggle of SCREAMERS out in the yard to scream and shriek for my benefit. How small, childish and unfortunately, predictable.

The Mercers claim to be religious *, I call them cheaters, liars, bad parents, thieves and Selfish Bastards. Does their religion condone their type of behaviour toward their fellow man?

Jeff and Donna Mercer have told me that Sunday is "Family Day" on more than one occasion, but that doesn't stop them from sending the little SCREAMERS out on Sunday. I guess it must just get way too loud inside their house with five or more children screeching and screaming their lungs out. Maybe Jeff and Donna Mercer are hearing impaired (by now)?

By the Mercers actions, it's going to be a long summer.

ABC's 20/20 is planning a story about how the smaller and smaller suburb lots are causing more and more neighborhood conflicts. On March 21st, 2006, they asked me if I'd like to be part of the story. I declined, just like I declined to talk about my Toxic Neighbors From Hell on Good Morning America and Channel 7 News in 2004. If the Mercers were asked to be on the show, you can bet they will spew out all the same lies and distortions as THEY DID when they cried and whinned and whimpered in the local Channel 7 interview and on KHOW Talk Radio.

Smaller lots do make us live closer and closer together and they do increase the possibility of conflict. But it's not the smaller lots that cause problems, it's Toxic Neighbors From Hell like the Mercers who without a care or concern for anyone else make all the noise they want, anytime they want, no matter how oppressive or irritating or annoying it may be to others around them.

The Mercers put their playground in their side yard, jammed up against my property line, and just 8' from my home.

Jeff Mercer "warned" me before I moved in that they were putting the playground so close to my home and that "you're not going to like it".

But they did it anyway and to hell with anyone else, why put it in the middle of THEIR back yard when they can get it out of their sight (and out of mind) in their side yard? Their children and guests scream and shout and squeal and screech day and night and they've even stoned my home from the playground twice. When I called the Mercers tell them about their children stoning my house, they didn't even answer their phone. If a child were to fall off the equipment and land on the hard slate or on the cedar fence or on the concrete retaining wall, how would the parents know? How could anyone tell the sound of their "normal" screaming and squealing and shrieking from the sound of an injured child? Recently I witnessed the oldest Mercer daughter holding a baby girl (guest) on her shoulders and jumping on the trampoline. The playground is totally unsupervised and out of their way.

Jeff Mercer has admitted more than once that one of his daughters has a "screaming problem". I think they all have screaming problems, they just seem to follow her lead. These children do not talk, they scream and squeal and shout constantly.

Their high-pitched ear-piercing, bone-jarring, jaw-clenching, blood-curdling, spine-tingling, heart-stopping screaming and shrieking and screeching reflects off their 2 story home directly into my home and backyard.

And when I complain about it? The Mercers and their cohorts engage in a harassment and terrorism campaign against me.

The cities force us into smaller and smaller lots and build common use "parks" that we can all "share". The bigger the park, the smaller our lots have to be. There is a huge park with playground equipment very close to our homes. Do the Mercers take their five children to the park to play and scream? Nope...

That would mean Jeff and Donna Mercer had to be involved with their children, instead they put a very dangerous playground, with a swingset, an elevated slide platform and a trampoline, jammed up against my cedar fence and over hard slate rock and a concrete retaining wall. Out of sight, out of mind and it's out of their way, and to hell with anyone else. They must believe the world is theirs to consume...

This whole problem could be solved if Jeff and Donna Mercer would only have the integrity to honor their Word and live the mediated agreement we signed on May 18, 2001. They smiled, they shook my hand, they signed it, and then started cheating on it within 34 days. I've since learned that the Mercers only make agreements as a delay tactic, they had no intention of honoring their Word. Bastards.

I stepped out into my back yard this afternoon to water my trees, it's been a dry winter. No more than 5 minutes go by and the Mercers (Toxic Neighbors From Hell) send their SCREAMERS out to scream like injured escapees from the Jerry Springer Show on their unsafe trampoline. I retreat into my home and 10 minutes later the screamers go inside too. The Mercers are total Bastards.

Is Bastard too harsh a word? You decide. The Mercers selfishly and deliberately (it's out of their way) located their unsafe playground jammed up against my property line fence and just 8' from my home. See how the Mercers and Woody conspired to harass and terrorize me in 2004.

Compare my response to the noise and property dispute verse "their" response, and then imagine the Horror of having these uncivilized "bastards" living so close to you.

It's dark outside, but the pre-school Mercer children are still out jumping and screaming on their trampoline - just 8' from my home. At this time of year, all my windows are closed. I have music playing and between songs I can clearly hear the high-pitched screamers inside my home on the opposite side my house from the Mercers playground!

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents should never purchase a home trampoline or allow children to use home trampolines.

That warning doesn't stop the Mercers from having the "accident waiting to happen" trampoline (pictures), or locating it next to a cedar fence or around hard slate and block walls, or from allowing their young (unsupervised) children to use it in the dark.

The Mercers were mailed a letter from the Dutch Creek Homeowners Association at the end of June 2005 requesting that the green canopy be removed from their swingset watchtower. The Mercers [selfish] playarea was "approved" by the HOA (long after construction) on 10/08/2000. Part of the HOA approval required the removal of the green canopy.

Is anyone surprised that the green canopy IS STILL THERE? Has anyone EVER known Jeff and Donna Mercer to ever honor any agreement?

Last year when the HOA sent me a letter asking that I remove some signs I had hung on my home, I complied. But these are the Mercers and the Mercers refuse to live by their word or by any set of civilized rules...

To Jeff and Donna Mercer, giving their "Word" is just a delay tactic.

It's always all about them and to hell with everyone else...

Last month I was hopeful that the Mercers were finally going to share the neighborhood airspace - WRONG. Their children and guests have been out screaming for longer and longer into the evenings (plus all the daytime screaming). Tonight they are out screaming on their (unsafe and dangerous) trampoline quite loudly past 7:47pm. Why do they have to scream all the time? I visit people who have trampolines and their children have a great time jumping without constant screaming. Oh yeah, one of Jeff and Donna Mercers daughters has a "screaming problem" as he admitted on May 22nd, 2001 and confirmed it again on June 23rd, 2004 during mediation sessions. It's not just their daughters, the boys scream just like the girls. I think all of their 5 children have screaming problems... I bite my tongue, I try to endure it, I try to pretend, but their screaming presence is just too intense, like fingernails on a blackboard.

Their "Attractive Nuisance" unlocked playground gate to the street was left open flapping in the breeze all night long.

The Mercers selfishly take more than their share of the neighborhood airspace. The Mercers have lied to the police and to the courts. They defied a Jefferson County Judge. They defy the HOA. They have conspired with their friends to harass and threaten me, they have refused to honor their word and the mediated agreement they signed. Their trash company has stolen my trash cans three times. Refusing to comply with a Homeowners Association ruling is predictable and fits in with all their past transgressions.

However, they say they can't keep their children quiet, they say they can't tell their children they can't use the playground after 7pm (per the mediated agreement they signed), they say they can't keep their cat out of my yard (so it doesn't harass my cat).

These Toxic Neighbors From Hell (NFH) are everyone's worst nightmare, moving into a new home and finding low-class "people" like this living next door. And from reading other NFH websites, I'm not alone, there are more and more people like this in our "all about me" society. The Mercers themselves have 5 children (so far) who I'm sure will be even worse than their parents when they grow up.

The neighborhood and the Mercers have been very quiet since the end of June 2005. To the best of my knowledge, they have not only been quiet, they seem to have [mostly] lived within the terms of our signed 2001 mediated agreement.

If the peace and quiet is the direct result of a decision the Mercers have made to begin sharing the neighborhood airspace and honoring our mediated agreement, I'm impressed. If they have decided to live by their Word and our mediated agreement into the future, I would be more than willing to restore the security camera shield and remove this Neighbor From Hell (NFH) website. If they have made this decision and state their intentions, I'm ready and willing to follow through with my part.

The Mercers had a party this evening. During the party a few children went outside to use the trampoline.

It was a spectacular show for the guests. Only one child at a time quietly used the trampoline. The rest of the children stood quietly nearby as spotters. Kind of like this (non-haskell) picture, but look at the REAL pictures to see how the Mercers really allow their children and guests to use their unsafe playground when they think nobody is watching...

Without an audience, there are many many children on the trampoline at the same time, from 8 months old on up, running, jumping, yelling, shrieking, screaming, pushing and tackling each other.

They put on a nice calm quiet show for their guests, all part of the BIG LIE. They must think all their guests are just way too stupid to not notice the special show put on JUST for their benefit! Their guests should be insulted at how stupid the Mercers must think they are.

Yeah, yeah, I know... We've all heard their hysterical accuations and lies to the police and courts before ...

Does anyone remember when Jeff said (lied) his children go to bed at 8pm?

See the May 22nd, 2005 entry below.

As expected, the Dutch Creek Homeowners Association has totally ignored my May 22nd, 2005 letter sent days ago requesting that they enforce their 10/08/2000 ruling that the [ugly] green canopy be removed from the Mercers slide platform watch tower. Since I moved into my home in 2000, this is now the 8th letter the HOA has totally ignored. No explanation for their actions, no response period.

Of course the HOA didn't forget to send us all a $360 Homeowners Association dues bill last month. They never forget to demand money to put chlorine in the pool and have bake sales and mow the common area grass behind the board members homes. But enforce a rule for me? That is asking way too much it seems.

Last June 2004 it took Marcel H. Savoie and the HOA only 2 days to send a letter to me in the U.S. Mail demanding that I remove some signs from my home along with a copy of the "HOA Fine Policy".

As we've all seen so many times before...

Back in 2000 when the Mercers playground was erected, I attempted to get relief from the Dutch Creek Homeowners Association and they refused to enforce THEIR written rules that we all agreed to live by when we purchased our homes.

On October 8th, 2000 it was ruled by HOA President James Lynch and Board Member <name removed by request> that the high and large bright green eyesore canopy the Mercers had erected over their towering slide platform would be removed. It took weeks for the HOA to get the Mercers to actually remove the canopy, but it was finally removed.

Over the years the Mercers have snubbed their noses at me and the HOA by installing it anyway. They just put it back up yesterday in violation of the 2000 HOA ruling.

I have just written a letter to:

As of May 20th, 2005, Woody747 has visited this website 204 times from his office computer. The website server logs show the viewing IP used at Cochlear Corporation in Englewood Colorado as the very same IP address that he used to send me email messages last June 2004 as himself and as a fake multiple personality attorney when there was an Email-Me Button on this website.

Woody747 is enrolled for evening classes at Metropolitan State College of Denver (MSCD). I have similar website server logs showing someone from MSCD accessing this website almost every Monday and Wednesday evening. Woody747 has admitted under oath to sending me a series of "anonymous" Hotmail threatening and obscene email messages last year from MSCD to my office email account. All of the hateful threatening and obscene email messages were traced to Woody747. This information was used to obtain a Permanent Protection (restraining) Order against Woody747 on November 16th, 2004.

Woody747 seems to be obsessed with me and a neighborhood dispute that does not involve him, his family or his neighborhood. One must wonder if Cochlear Corporation is aware of the vast amount of company time Woody747 has spent accessing and reading this website.

The Mercers are at it again in cahoots with their community terrorist "friends".

We had a spring storm of wet slushy snow last night and continuing into today. I was out shoveling my driveway this morning. The Mercers were out shoveling too.

A cream color Land Rover Discovery (Colorado 334-KMS) vehicle comes down the street and stops in front of the Mercers house and they stop shoveling to talk with the driver. I finished up my driveway and sidewalk and went inside.

The vehicle leaves the Mercers house and continues on past my house. Moments later the vehicle comes back up the street past my house. As the vehicle approaches, the Mercer friend veers sharply towards my house and does a drive by at a high rate of speed in front of my driveway in the gutter splashing snow, ice and slush back up in to my clean driveway and sidewalk. The vehicle then veers back to the middle of the street as it goes past the Mercers who were still outside shoveling. The driver "tooted" their horn in Victory as it drove by the Mercers.

The snow and ice and slush on my sidewalk and driveway that I just cleaned up has melted, no harm done.

This is not the first time the Mercers and their low-class friends have acted against me and my property. I just want to be able to share the neighborhood and the airspace with my neighbors. The Mercers refuse to share and then engage in this childish prank along with other actual crimes.

The Mercers are biological adults, mentally they act like spoiled children without parents to teach them civilized behavior, sharing and right from wrong. What are they teaching THEIR 5 children...

The Jefferson County Commissioners bounced my plea for help in having the Jefferson County Noise Abatement Regulations (5.90) enforced to the very same "assistant county attorney" who made the first incorrect ruling for non-enforcement last year.

Around and Around they go, anything to avoid having to perform their government functions.

I received a call from a Jefferson County Sheriff Department Captain on 01-26-2005 inviting me to a meeting at the police station on 02-01-2005 with him, the Investigator and the deputy that investigated the neighborhood dispute last summer.

Woody747 is having yet another Multiple Personality Episode with magazine discussion group postings.

Now he's been pretending to be Jeff Mercer and whining in a magazine group discussion thread. As Jeff, he is telling only little distorted parts about the neighborhood dispute (just like Jeff) and trying to get sympathy from the readers.

In the past he has impersonated more than one attorney to send me email and then later, using what he thought were anonymous Hotmail accounts, he'd send hateful, harassing and obscene email messages to my office. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department has refused to charge Woody747 with harassment.

Woody747 must not like himself very much to spend so much time trying to be someone else. I can easily understand him not liking himself very much, but there are lots of better people in this world to idolize than Jeff Mercer.

The Mercers had a small New Years Eve party and a small fireworks display in the street at midnight.

The Mercers didn't bother to clean up the debris the next day. Some of our other neighbors have a fireworks display on July 4th every year, and every year they clean up the mess the next morning.

But not the Mercers, they don't seem to care about anyone else or anyone else's property. If their lifestyle leaks off of their property, too bad for everyone else, because like always, it's all about them.
